Most frequent words[edit]
The Egyptian words missing from Wiktionary that appear more than 100 times in the corpus of the Thesaurus Linguae Aegyptiae, version 14 (running an analysis for the word class ‘all words except personal names’, using individual (not superordinate) lemmata). These are in Wiktionary transliteration, not TLA-style.
Ignoring a few categories of words that I’m excluding for the time being, all words are now done. Zero remain out of 954.
